Want to Cry!

$5,000
So, hey everyone as you all know I was suppose to have surgery today, to finally be happy to finally love myself :( but, it didnt work out for me....I feel so overwhelmed with sorrow. All in one week I went through an Endoscopy, Colonscopy, Tilt test, EEG and Echo test, then find out theres a hole in my heart, so Dr. Mayortena wanted me to get a letter of clearance. So, my doctor said she would. I had already paid for the surgery and already paid the tickets that were $600, non refundable, it was 12am and I head out to go to the airport that was 3 hrs away, but as I was driving I just told myself if this will do more harm then good I lnow God will not let me go, maybe by getting pulled over or? Well 10 minutes into driving there was noone around me, a polce officer comes out of nowhere and pulls me over, he said I was going 73 in a 60 but I wasnt, it was 65. So I knew at that moment God had heard me and I knew it was his sign. So I guess I better figure out why I didnt go.
What God knows I dont. It jas been hard bc I wanted this my whole life and to have to give it up and still have to pay off a loan I never got to use, it stinks. But I have surgery next week to habe a camera in my throat to see how big the hole in my heart is and how much my valve is leaking.
So maybe my heart wouldnt be able to take the sleeve idk why God stopped me from going but he did :( Iam grateful but now hopeless, more years crying in the mirror, having people laugh at me more, remember the past bullies. I just wanted to know what it felt like to feel beautiful (much tears now.) I'll stop ranting now. Wish me luck with my heart I guess. And to all on this journey, i envy you and wish you all the very best in the whole world! Love all of u.

I am so sorry for you, I can only imagine how you feel. I hope you continue to trust God and that he has another way for you. Don't get discouraged. I know it must feel real horrible losing all that money, but I will pray that God brings you thru this all.
Thank you so much for your prayers they are very much appreciated. I hope all is well with you too :) Ill get through somehow, I haven't gave up yet. I just wish I could have gone. :,,,(
I would love to know how you are doing currently.. I've read your story and my heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry what you went through.. I myself have faced situation as you did but many years ago. There's one thing I'm sure of.. you ask God to give you a sign and he did, thank God you listened because you might not of made it back home for one reason or another. That's a strong will that you have there, be proud of yourself.. Hopefully you're doing well now..
Really sorry to hear about the issue with your heart. Yes, you are correct it may have been God protecting you from dying during the sleeve surgery. Do you need a surgery to repair the hole in your heart? If so and it's all closed after some time you may be eligible for the sleeve again. Don't give up!
